I can very highly recommend the Home Theater Master MX-500 univeral
remote as a substitute. Only got my SB3 yesterday and the first thing I
did was to teach the MX-500 the SB remote and I'll pack the SB remote
away.

Apology accepted.
I think the rest of it was fair.
I tend to agree, that's what I have heard regarding Sonos. I still
like Slim's price structure, philosophy, quick introduction of new
features and sound quality.

It is a bit crappy, in my opinion. If you remove the plastic film on
the black one, eventually, your fingers will dull the glossy finish
around the buttons.

*cough* I must admit I had my plastic film on for about a month until I
pealed it back and thought that looks better :-D

Wow I got the plastic film off and what an amazing high tech,
incredibly cool remote. OK not really. Its an improvement, I now have a
shiny, lightweight crappy remote.
Good job the SB makes up for it!

Yes, it's all this typing that does it.
But seriously does anyone think that the new transporter remote is going
to be an improvement - in shape at least?
It looks rather like a brick to me, and therefore I can't imagine it
being nicer to hold in the hand than the current one.

I've still got my original SB1 remote and it's neither damaged nor worn
and has seen consistent use. It has survived a move too. I too was of
the impression that the remote was flimsy and looked cheap, but at the
end of the day, it gets the job done just fine. I'd rather SD keep the
cost of the

I agree.
It's the SB internals I can't do anything about. The remote I can

example, which
I don't understand everyone's complaints about the remote. It's not
that much worse than most of the remotes I've gotten with any other
$300 piece of audio equipment. It is kind of lightweight but I haven't
seen many posts complaining that theirs broke in anyway. The button

I'll agree that it's not the most attractive remote in the world, but
despite years of abuse, I haven't seen one of the remotes break.

I think the poster is spot on vis-a-vis the Sonos remote. It looks
like a fine piece of equipment. I wish it worked with a Squeezebox.
Part of the amazing success of the Ipod is its system of accessing
songs. I would like to
